That is very messed up. I don't know what happened. I will try to figure it out

it's a good start :) plus i think out of everything run is the hardest thing to get back into

My challenge for challenge 3 was to work out monday thru friday, I didn't think I would get a workout in today but I forced myself to get one in and I feel so amazing now that I am finished

start with 200 total and if you find that isn't that much of a challenge do 200 per leg :)

Feel free to jump in, just add your name and info to the spreadsheet The challenges are to be done throughout the week but feel free to do more than one a day or repeat a few every :)

Yay thats awesome sandy, i have added your 171.2 weight to the spread sheet :)

I'm hoping, I's still going :) It seems like people aren't responding to much recently/ aren't commenting on things :(

How was everyone's week three?

Sandy you have been added :)

Check under the topic that says "Sept 24 to Sept 30" and that will be week two challenges

try eating greek yogurt or cottage cheese, they are good sources of protein, egg whites, spinach, beans/lentils, broccoli, quinoa, nuts like almonds, asparagus, Brussels sprouts,

yup it will

Challenge 5 would be choose a meal that you would normally run to the store and grab a quick premade salad or premade meal from the store instead of doing that make the salad from hand instead of getting a salad in a bag. Or instead of getting premade hamburgers make them from scratch

First thing I would suggest for portion control is to use a smaller plate, it is a good start. See the follow link to show how you should divide your plate up. http://o5.com/tips-for-sticking-to-serving-sizes/ Probably stay off of it for another week at least till some of the swelling has gone down. You can possible ice it…

Alright Julie you have been added :)

Julie81-what is your name, starting weight and goal pounds to lose and i will add it for you

That's awesome :) I love to hear that. It's a good feeling when you are full and don't crave anything and just feel all around better

Nope feel free to join :) Make sure your name is on the spreadsheet. And you have looked over the challenges for the week. If you have any questions feel free to message me.

Sweet, that's what i love to hear :)

That's awesome :) I know you can do it! And don't worry you will find any extra motivation you have been lacking once you get to the race. Just something about the people there, it's a wonderful atmosphere and just makes you want to run faster and longer. Not to mention the people cheering you on and the people that are…

I'm glad your enjoying the challenges and that is good you are finding them hard, that means you are outside of your comfort zone and will see big changes:) And i agree with you on dips i have a love hate relationship with them lol

Yup, I can sure modify everything for you. What kind of movements hurt ur ankle? What are you current concerns with dieting and losing weight? And the best way to look at it is a lifestyle change not a diet :)

Jana how did you feel after eating 123 grams of protein? And way to kill it yesterday, that is awesome :)

If you only use on piece of equipment do to knee issues or no gym memberships try varying up your cardio by saying doing interval runs (sprints) instead of a long distance run or do some form of a cardio circuit with say jumping jacks, high knees, butt kicks. You better water with lemon slices still counts :)

Way to go Walt, keep it up :)

Tracy I completely agree with you about lunges but damn do they do good things for the legs and bum lol Vicki that is aways about your running time :) Good job. How did the squats, lunges and push ups feel?

Hope everyone is having a great Monday so far :) Has anyone attempted any of the challenges and if so which ones, and how do you feel?

Definitely planned on getting a new tattoo once I get under 140, so I'm hoping to accomplish that with this challenge :) Loving the gifts you have planned for yourself, especially the beach, that would be so much fun

thisisaimee91 - for the food challenges it will be one specific day you decide to drink above and beyond the 8 glass a day, same with the under the calorie goal, try to choose a day where you have to resist a temptation or a day you would normally go over your calorie goal carlsoda- i find days that i eat a higher amount…

Np...anytime :) And thats what i'm here for :)
